When I was 19 years old I moved on a whim to Venice, Italy, where I spent many months working in a hostel and running a pub crawl. It was there that I earned the nickname Pina ...because “Erin” is hard to pronounce if you speak Italian. My travel love affair started at 16, when my parents sent me alone to visit family in the Netherlands. Following that I spent time living in Italy, the Netherlands, and traveled across Europe and Central America solo. To date, I have traveled to Asia, Africa, Europe, Central America, Oceania, and across North America.
